“Fly away, esclave, if that is what you want. I won’t stop you.”
If you thought Tears of Tess was dark … you haven’t seen anything yet.
In the second book of the Monsters in the Dark series, Pepper Winters takes everything you thought you knew, everything you thought you could handle and obliterates it.
There’s no question that Q and Tess aren’t a conventional couple. Their story is dark, twisted and rippling with forbidden. Yet it is also one of bone-deep connection and soul-searing love. Their connection is insane and it’s weaved into every fibre of their being.
Tess is a force to be reckoned with, she’s incredibly strong and courageous. I loved her from the first book and that’s only grown with this book. While I read I just kept thinking, I would love to be her friend.
Q is … well … Q. He lets himself be free from restraint and that doesn’t look cute in any way, shape or form. He gives in to the beast and does everything in his ability to save Tess even at the cost of himself.
Both Q and Tess go through it during this book—lots will turn your stomach and it will truly test your tolerance to violence and evil. But—and it’s a big but—if you can handle it, it’s the most incredible gift.
The writing is superb and the story is complex and consuming. I’ve never wanted to stop reading and yet couldn’t stop reading so much in my life. Each page was full of longing, emotion and a lot of the time, violence. But it’s a vital part of the story and if you’ve read Tears of Tess, you know what you’ve signed up for with this series.

It really isn’t for everyone and that’s okay. Everyone is allowed to enjoy whatever fiction they like. It’s escapism and fantasy while you read, so read what feeds your soul.
For the lovers of true darkness … come step deeper into their world.
